No map sensor. The L27 uses a MAF sensor exclusively.

is the service engine soon light on? If not, have you confirmed the light works?

But, if unmetered air is being ingested, such as through a vacuum leak, it could cause the issue you are describing.

Given the car is 25 years old, there is a high likelihood of degraded or broken vacuum lines

How many miles on it?

How many miles have you owned it?

How long have you owned it?

When were the spark plugs replaced last?

When were the spark plug wires replaced last?

Is the check-engine light on?

Is the catalytic converter original? Have you checked fuel pressure?

Not sure about the catalytic converter, the fuel pressure is at 46 psi

Typical ICM failure is my guess.
